03:19 - Redn1ghtThe first thing I heard while listening to that song was... "Wait... No way... FINAL COUNTDOWN! Oh shit you trolls."

03:17 - deadoneNo, I didn't pick that up which is bizarre given that Final Countdown is such a distinctive song and yes From Beoynd does sound like it now! It did sound familiar but I have put it down to genre! :P

03:17 - Redn1ghtThe melody is exactly the same in From Beyond right after the solo for example. xD

03:13 - Redn1ghtI was just pointing out my (Typos in here.) That I fixed. Sleepy atm. :P

03:11 - Redn1ghtI meant that title song in the Enforcer album sounding exactly like Final Countdown. Compare: [link] to [link]

03:11 - deadoneAs for typos, feel free to volunteer for an editor's position at MS.

03:09 - deadoneCause I've never listened to that Europe album save the title track.

Their new album was pretty decent with nice progressive elements but I feel lacks that subtle but present bite when Yama B was in the group.

The symphonic elements are great but the I wish they reconsidered doing something a bit heavier.

As for the rest of the list I pretty much agree. 'Beyond the End of Despair' is a masterpice in my opinion. All the elements that make a good prog/power record (stellar musicianship, well done but not forced ''epic'' moments, strong, confident vocals and an unrivaled sense of chemistry within the band) are present a full 110%.
